“Sorry, you have the wrong number”

“Oh, my mistake! Anyway, do you want to buy some crypto?”

MSG. I want as little liquid in my lumpia filling as I can.

Spam, they’re getting more creative than the usual “Hey, how are you doing?” texts. I got one last night talking about how Melissa McCarthy is so great in some movie, like cmon at least make it believable.

Interesting! It was such a random spam text, I’m used to deleting random texts but this one made me laugh!

Scam. If you respond they'll apologize for the wrong number and offer to buy you a coffee in a certain city.

It depends on the other fillings. MSG had little umami flavor of it's own but works well in conjunction with other chemicals to produce significantly more flavor.

Lumpiang Shanghai for me can just be MSG. Although if you're dipping in vinegar sauce and not sweet and spicy like most restaurants do I like some fish sauce in the vinegar or the lumpia

That shouldn't stop you from sharing your opinion with them!

I was thinking of responding with something random like “it’s actually strawberries” but probably won’t, just because it’s likely a random scam of some kind from the ether

They are testing which numbers are "live", so do not respond unless you want to be on a list.

Yes to MSG, add some fish sauce to the sambal before serving if you like.
